While it is absolutely right to insist on the original license, I find it also a bit surprising they rather have their contribution removed than allowing a more liberal license.

To you it's more liberal, to others more exploitative.

People get really upset about license changes, as Linus so nicely observed.

As I said, I fully agree that people have the right to deny the request.

Maybe they considered that if enough people said no, then the relicensing would be cancelled.
